Benefits of Quitting Smoking

The health benefits of quitting smoking are immediate and substantial. Almost immediately:

A person’s circulation begins to improve and the level of carbon monoxide in their blood begins to decline. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is found in cigarette smoke. This gas reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.

A person’s pulse rate and blood pressure, which may have been abnormally high when they were smoking regularly, will begin to return to normal.

Within 30 minutes of your last cigarette, your body will begin to heal itself by starting to remove the toxins from your body.

At first, you will probably feel worse instead of better, because of nicotine withdrawal. However, your body is slowly healing itself and the bad feeling will pass within a few weeks.

Here is a summary of the benefits you will gain from quitting smoking:
